Explanation
The word is formed from สุด, “end,” and สัปดาห์, “week,” so it literally means “the end of the week.” It is a standard noun used for the weekend, normally Saturday and Sunday. Common expressions include สุดสัปดาห์นี้ “this weekend,” สุดสัปดาห์หน้า “next weekend,” and สุดสัปดาห์ที่แล้ว “last weekend.” It can function as a time expression without a preposition, as in ไปเที่ยวสุดสัปดาห์หน้า, “go on a trip next weekend.” ช่วงสุดสัปดาห์ means “during the weekend,” while ทุกสุดสัปดาห์ means “every weekend.”
Usage
It is commonly used when discussing weekend plans, trips, shopping, events, and business hours. It works naturally in everyday conversation as well as workplace messages and public information.
Caution
Do not treat วันหยุด, “day off” or “holiday,” as an exact synonym: it is not limited to weekends. When exact dates matter, specify วันเสาร์และวันอาทิตย์, “Saturday and Sunday,” to avoid ambiguity.
